ORPHEUS-MIR is a versatile system optimized for the efficient generation of broadband mid-IR pulses. In general, it is a two-channel optical parametric amplifier (OPA), followed by a difference frequency generation (DFG) stage. The system provides broadband pulses in the tuning range of 2.5 – 11 μm and reaches up to 15 μm with optional narrowband extension. Signal and Idler outputs are available simultaneously, but they are a Signal-Idler pair; thus, their wavelengths are linked. The system architecture is well-suited for high energy and high power PHAROS and CARBIDE lasers. |
